But this isn't a solution, i.e. to just reinstall from scratch! And I
already accepted the default settings for grub.

I've been using GRUB since version 7.3, and never had a problem with it,
specially that I use multiple OSs (sometimes even more than one Linux
distro). Furthermore, I used to configure it manually for multiple linux
system, so I have no issue with it at all.

Never had to do this as well, since the start.
The problem here refers to the stage1 file.

Thanks for your answer.
